Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen utensil storage, specifically to a modular combination storage structure. Background Technology

[0002] Current kitchen storage structures primarily serve to store condiment jars and bottles. However, current designs have a significant flaw: their internal spaces are divided at a uniform height. The storage structure lacks a dedicated area for shorter condiment jars (such as spice jars and mini soy sauce bottles), forcing these containers to be stored on the same level as taller ones (such as oil and vinegar bottles and sauce jars). This mixed placement not only results in low space utilization—creating unnecessary gaps above shorter containers—but also severely impacts the overall aesthetics: the staggered arrangement of containers appears cluttered and disorderly. Furthermore, the existing structure makes it inconvenient to retrieve shorter containers, requiring users to strain through gaps between taller containers, further reducing the user experience. It's worth noting that this storage structure doesn't consider the impact of container height differences on retrieval efficiency; when many shorter containers are stored, visual obstruction increases search time. Even when shorter containers are arranged in front of taller containers, users still need to spend considerable time searching for them. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention proposes a modular combined storage structure. Through the combined design of support components and assembly parts, this structure allows for flexible expansion of the storage unit space. Retailers can freely assemble the structure according to actual usage needs, adding or removing storage expansion modules. The support components and storage units form a storage area for accommodating condiment containers of different heights. The storage units can accommodate taller condiment containers, while the support components can accommodate shorter ones, effectively solving the problems of wasted space and unsightly arrangement caused by mixing short condiment jars with tall containers.

[0004] A modular combined storage structure designed for this purpose includes a support component for expanding the storage space of the storage unit, and an assembly for positioning and installing on the storage unit.

[0005] The carrier is used to carry objects and connect with the assembly to form a storage expansion module that cooperates with the storage unit.

[0006] The carrier and the assembly are connected separately, and a positioning connection part is provided between the carrier and the assembly. The carrier and the assembly are positioned and connected through the positioning connection part.

[0007] Alternatively, the load-bearing components and the assemblies may be integrally molded.

[0008] The assembly is detachably installed on the carrier, and an anti-detachment fastening part is provided between the carrier and the assembly. The carrier and the assembly are fastened together by the anti-detachment fastening part.

[0009] The anti-disengagement fastening part is elastic, and the assembly can form a detachable fastening fit with the load-bearing component through the elastic deformation of the anti-disengagement fastening part.

[0010] The support member includes a first side plate, a second side plate, and a support base plate for supporting objects;

[0011] The first side plate and the second side plate are located on the front and rear sides of the supporting base plate. The first side plate, the second side plate and the fittings on both sides of the supporting base plate form a protective structure to prevent objects from falling.

[0012] The mounting component and the side plate of the supporting base plate have a height difference. The supporting component and the mounting component are combined to form a storage expansion module with an operation opening, so that objects can be placed or removed on the storage expansion module through the operation opening.

[0013] The storage unit is provided with a guide connection groove between itself and the assembly, and the storage unit is guided and positioned on the assembly through the guide connection groove.

[0014] The storage unit is provided with left and right positioning parts corresponding to the mounting parts.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] See Figures 1-11 A modular combined storage structure includes a support member 2 for expanding the storage space of the storage unit 1, and an assembly 3 positioned and installed on the storage unit 1.

[0033] The carrier 2 is used to carry objects and connects with the assembly 3 to form a storage extension module that cooperates with the storage unit 1.

[0034] The modular storage structure, through the combined design of the support component 2 and the mounting component 3, allows for flexible expansion of the storage unit 1. This structure allows retailers to freely assemble the storage unit 1 with additional or fewer expansion modules according to actual usage needs. The support component 2 and the storage unit 1 form a storage area for condiment containers of different heights. The storage unit 1 can accommodate taller condiment containers, while the support component 2 can accommodate shorter ones, effectively solving the problems of wasted space and unsightly arrangement caused by mixing short condiment jars with tall containers. The positioning and installation of the mounting component 3 and the storage unit 1 ensure the stability of the expansion module and prevent displacement during use. The design of the operating opening 4 optimizes the access path for short containers and reduces visual obstruction by tall containers.

[0035] The carrier 2 and the assembly 3 are connected separately. A positioning connection part 5 is provided between the carrier 2 and the assembly 3. The carrier 2 and the assembly 3 are positioned and connected by the positioning connection part 5.

[0036] Alternatively, the carrier 2 and the assembly 3 can be integrally formed.

[0037] The carrier component 2 and the assembly component 3 are integrally molded, reducing assembly steps. Alternatively, the carrier component 2 and the assembly component 3 are connected separately, which simplifies the corresponding mold structure. The mold structure only needs to change the length of the carrier component 2, while the assembly component 3 can be manufactured separately, so that carrier components 2 of different lengths can be assembled with the assembly component 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the positioning connection part 5 includes a insertion groove disposed on the inner side of the assembly 3 and an insertion end disposed on the carrier 2. When the carrier 2 is assembled with the assembly 3, the insertion end of the carrier 2 is inserted into the insertion groove of the assembly 3.

[0039] The assembly 3 is detachably installed on the carrier 2. An anti-detachment fastening part 6 is provided between the carrier 2 and the assembly 3, and the carrier 2 and the assembly 3 are fastened together by the anti-detachment fastening part 6.

[0040] In this embodiment, the anti-detachment fastening part 6 includes a fastening hole provided on the carrier 2 and a buckle provided in the insertion groove of the assembly 3. The insertion end of the carrier 2 is inserted into the insertion groove of the assembly 3. When inserted into place, the fastening hole and the buckle fasten together.

[0041] The detachable design of the anti-detachment fastener 6 ensures a secure yet flexible connection between the carrier 2 and the mounting accessory 3. The fastening structure allows for assembly and disassembly without tools or screws, facilitating quick adjustments to the storage layout. The anti-detachment design prevents accidental separation of the carrier 2 and mounting accessory 3 due to vibration or movement, ensuring reliable connection of the storage expansion module even under load.

[0042] The anti-detachment fastening part 6 is elastic, and the assembly 3 forms a detachable fastening engagement with the bearing 2 through the elastic deformation of the anti-detachment fastening part 6.

[0043] The elastic deformation characteristics of the anti-detachment fastening part 6 enable "one-click" disassembly and assembly. The selection of elastic materials (such as PP or TPE) ensures fastening strength while avoiding plastic deformation after repeated disassembly.

[0044] The support member 2 includes a first side plate 9, a second side plate 10, and a support base plate 8 for supporting objects;

[0045] The first side plate 9 and the second side plate 10 are located on the front and rear sides of the supporting base plate 8. The first side plate 9, the second side plate 10 and the fittings 3 on both sides of the supporting base plate 8 form a protective structure to prevent objects from falling.

[0046] The three-sided protective structure formed by the first side plate 9, the second side plate 10, and the supporting base plate 8 effectively prevents short containers from accidentally detaching from the supporting member 2 during storage. The fittings 3 on both sides of the supporting base plate 8 can also effectively prevent short containers from accidentally detaching from the supporting member 2 during storage.

[0047] The mounting component 3 and the side plate of the supporting base plate 8 have a height difference. The supporting component 2 and the mounting component 3 are combined to form a storage expansion module with an operation opening 4, so that items can be taken out and placed on the storage expansion module through the operation opening 4, making it convenient for users to take out and place items such as seasoning containers through the operation opening 4.

[0048] The storage unit 1 and the assembly 3 are provided with a guide connection groove 7, and the storage unit 1 is guided and positioned on the assembly 3 through the guide connection groove 7.

[0049] In this embodiment, the guide connection groove 7 includes a positioning groove on the storage unit 1 and a guide groove on the assembly 3. The assembly 3 is assembled with the storage unit 1, and the bottom plate of the positioning groove is embedded in the guide groove of the assembly 3. The top of the assembly 3 is limited by the positioning groove on the storage unit 1. The top of the assembly 3 is supported by the positioning groove on the storage unit 1, which can increase the support capacity of the storage expansion module and enable the carrier 2 to support small condiment containers.

[0050] The storage unit 1 is provided with left and right positioning parts 11 corresponding to the mounting parts 3. The mounting parts 3 are connected to the storage unit 1, and one end of the mounting parts 3 is positioned on the left and right positioning parts 11 to realize the installation and positioning of the mounting parts 3 and the storage unit 1 in the left and right directions.

[0051] In this embodiment, the top outer side of the assembly 3 is provided with a limiting protrusion 3.1, and the left and right positioning parts 11 include positioning ribs provided on the inner side of the positioning groove of the storage unit 1 and arc-shaped protrusions provided on the top of the inner side of the positioning groove of the storage unit 1. The arc-shaped protrusions extend downward toward the bottom wall of the positioning groove of the storage unit 1, and the limiting protrusion 3.1 protrudes out and is provided on the top outer side of the assembly 3. When the assembly 3 is assembled with the storage unit 1, the limiting protrusion 3.1 abuts against the arc-shaped protrusions, and the outer side of the storage unit 1 is limited to the side of the positioning ribs to prevent the assembly 3 from moving left and right on the storage unit 1.

[0052] The storage unit 1 is provided with front and rear positioning parts 12 corresponding to the mounting part 3. The mounting part 3 is connected to the storage unit 1, and one side of the mounting part 3 is positioned on the front and rear positioning parts 12 to realize the installation positioning of the mounting part 3 and the storage unit 1 in the front and rear direction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the positioning groove of the storage unit 1 is used to install the base plate. A hollow space is provided between the base plate and the inner side of the storage unit 1 for installing the storage expansion module. The front and rear positioning parts 12 include a rear positioning plate extending upward on the base plate and a front connector disposed on the front end face of the side plate of the storage unit 1. The left and right side plates of the storage unit 1 are connected to the front panel through the front connector. The front connector and the rear positioning plate are used to position the mounting part 3 to prevent the mounted part 3 from moving back and forth on the storage unit 1 after installation. Through the above structure, the storage expansion module is positioned and installed on the storage unit 1 in the left and right, front and back, and up and down directions.

[0054] In this embodiment, the front connector is bent, with one end fixed to the side plate by screws, and the other end fixed to the front panel by a structure such as a buckle or screws.

[0055] When it is necessary to install a storage expansion module on storage unit 1, a shorter base plate is used during the assembly of the storage unit. If it is not necessary to install a storage expansion module on storage unit 1, a longer base plate is used during the assembly of the storage unit. There is no need to leave any cutouts on storage unit 1.

[0056] The storage expansion module is positioned close to the front of the storage unit 1; and the mounting part 3 of the storage expansion module is installed at the bottom of the storage unit 1. The mounting part 3 extends downward along the bottom of the storage unit 1 and is connected to the support member 2, so that a first operating area for taking out and putting in objects is formed between the front of the storage unit 1 and the upper and lower parts of the support member 2.

[0057] Alternatively, the storage extension module is installed at the top of the storage unit 1, forming a second operating area above the storage extension module for taking and putting in items.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mounting part 3 of the storage expansion module is installed at the bottom of the storage unit 1, which is equivalent to using a base plate with a shorter length so that there is a cutout between the base plate and the inside of the storage unit 1.

[0059] When the storage extension module is installed at the top of the storage unit 1, the mounting accessory 3 can be fixed to the top outer side of the storage unit 1 with screws.

[0060] In this embodiment, the storage extension module is positioned close to the front of the storage unit 1, making it convenient for the user to take and put items in front of the storage unit 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, the storage unit 1 can be provided with two layers, with a fixing frame on the outside of the two storage units 1, and the two storage units 1 are arranged vertically and horizontally, wherein the upper storage unit 1 is provided with a storage expansion module, and the lower storage unit 1 is not provided with a storage expansion module.

[0062] The upper and lower storage units 1 are used to store taller condiment containers, while the support member 2 has a smaller gap between its bottom and the bottom of the upper storage unit 1, so it is used to store shorter condiment containers. This effectively separates condiment containers of different heights.

[0063] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket is fixed to the outside of the two storage units 1 by screws.

[0064] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
